Adorable Lucien was six days old when I captured his newborn portraits in his home and he couldn’t have been more lovely. It’s such an honor to be welcomed into families’ homes during such a special and intimate time in their lives and it’s something I don’t take lightly. It was a rainy and cold Autumn day, so we weren’t able to get outdoors, but we got such great variety and I was able to bring a little bit of the season indoors, so it was perfectly fine. I love all of his hair and those pouty lips. So precious!

Wishing you and your loved ones a Happy Valentine’s Day! Nothing like the beauty of a newborn to spread the love…

This lil’ sweetie joined her family a month ago and is already accustomed to this crazy world. She’s SO content and laid back, which I believe she gets from her parents. Her three sisters adore her and are really a big help to mommy. Can you imagine your children fighting over who gets to change a diaper?! AMAZING! Danielle slept peacefully and gave me lots of special treats that are only cute coming from an adorable infant! Getting messed on is just one of those job hazards and something I totally don’t mind. So worth getting those prized portraits! We totally lucked out with weather today as we got to get outside for a few images at the very end of Danielle’s newborn portrait session at her house! Crazy to be able to do that at the beginning of February, but I’m not complaining one bit as I love getting portraits of lil’ ones surrounded by mother nature and it always results in beautiful images. Enjoy the sneak peek! Can’t wait for you to see the rest.

I had the honor to capture lil’ Keegan this morning just a day shy of his week birthday. He is such a good baby – sleeps really well, doesn’t complain too much except for when hungry and just goes with the flow. I suppose that with three siblings he has to learn quickly how to adapt. The last time I saw this lil’ man he was still in his mommy’s belly during their maternity photography session. The miracle of life is just amazing! Enjoy the sneak peek!

This lil’ man belongs to one of my good friends from my video producing days. When I heard that his son arrived on Christmas, I couldn’t be more thrilled. Baby A’s daddy had always been so good to me and it was such an honor to capture his lil’ one this afternoon. When I walked into baby Andy’s room, I saw him laying in his crib and my immediate thought was, “What a cute baby doll!” I literally thought that he was his big sister’s doll. Well, I was right, but it wasn’t a toy baby, but a real one. He’s so adorable and just perfect in every way. J and M couldn’t be luckier parents and I know big sister will be such a good guide to this lil’ man through the journey of life. She’s already lending a helping hand and you can tell that she just adores her baby brother. Enjoy the sneak peek and congrats my friend. I’m so happy for you and your growing family.

Well, it’s now week two of the 52 week challenge that I’m doing with a group of fellow photographers. The theme for today is “delicate” and what’s more fitting than a newborn curled up just like in the womb?! Ahhh…those toes, those fingers, that mouth, that whispy hair….pure love.
